Well Pumps

A one line jet pump has a single water line from the well to the pump and is capable of drawing or lifting the water up from a maximum depth of 24′ below the level of the jet pump itself. These pumps will only generate around 50 psi depending on how low the water level is at the time. If they are located in or under the house, they can be very noisy.

Two Line Jet Pump

A two line jet pump has two water lines from the well to the pump and while it draws water from the well, it also then sends or returns a portion of the water back to the well and down to a “jet” located deep in the well, where the water makes a “U” turn and the “jet” helps to lift the water from a deeper depth than the single line jet pump is capable of.

Submersible Pump

The main advantage of a submersible pump is that it “pushes” the water rather than drawing or sucking the water up to the surface. With different horsepower and flow configurations we normally have the properly sized pump to meet your needs on the truck at all times. A submersible pump never needs priming and delivers more volume and better pressure with no noise at all!

If you currently have a two line jet pump, in many cases we can use one of the existing water lines to “fish” or pull an electric wire from the home or pump house to the well, allowing us to power a modern submersible pump. This is a low cost way to eliminate the blue green stains associated with copper pipes or correct a leaking pipe. In other cases, we can trench or plow in a new electric line to power the submersible pump.

My water has stopped flowing – now what?

My water has stopped flowing. Now what? Shut off the electrical power to your pump, usually at the breaker or fuse box. This will keep you from causing further damage to your pump system until you can locate the problem. Also, shut off power to your hot water heater to protect against damage.
